Key Ingredients:
A targeted nasal formulation designed to act at the back of the nose: it traps and inactivates cold viruses and supports the natural clearance of inactivated virus material from the nasal passages to reduce progression to a full cold.
How To Use:
Begin use at the first signs of a cold or when exposed to cold viruses. Without tilting your head, incline the nozzle, insert into the nostril aiming outwards, then fully depress the pump 2–3 times per nostril. Avoid inhaling deeply after spraying. Apply 2–3 sprays per nostril each use, up to four times a day.
